Police Checks

As a minder, it is strongly advised that you have a police check done on yourself. Police checks provide peace of mind for home owners and can mean the difference between a home owner choosing you or someone else. It is also useful to you in other areas such as job interviews.

Once you have the police check certificate, please inform HouseMinders that you have the certificate so that we can inform home owners. The appropriate form is dependent on the state or territories you reside in fees vary depending on the state but average between $25 and $55 depending which state you are in. Please check the relevant websites for more details.
